Watch and Wait...

So, we took the head dress off yesterday morning to discover that there was still a fair amount of drainage. Willie emailed the surgeon who gave us instructions (and cleared me to wash my hair!). Spend the day being quiet and napping - yea, they don't call me Mrs. Excitement for nothing.)

Up this morning and had mom and dad help with the cleaning process - and unfortunately, still quite a bit of gunk. Mom had the great idea to take a close up picture which I emailed to Dr. Roland. He followed up with more instructions and the decision to give it another 24 hours. If it is not better tomorrow morning, back to the hospital for a deep cleaning and reclosure and probably 48 hours in the hospital. I am SO discouraged by the thought of going back to the hospital - arrgghhh. However, we'll see what tomorrow brings.

So, light a candle and send up some good thoughts, prayers, etc and think "goo begone!"

More later from the Northern Compound...
